I've been dealing with a persistent skin condition for the past 3 years and have tried various lotions and tablets, but nothing seems to work. Can you suggest any effective ointments or tablets that might help? I'm really starting to get frustrated and would appreciate any advice.

View allI've been having some issues with my skin ever since I got over chickenpox. Now my face is breaking out with acne and pimples everywhere. They're kinda mild, not super aggressive, but I never had any before. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
It sounds like you may be experiencing post-chickenpox acne. To help with this, you can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Differin (adapalene) gel. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas once daily in the evening. Additionally, you can use a benzoyl peroxide wash like PanOxyl (benzoyl peroxide) to cleanse your face once or twice daily. Make sure to moisturize with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness. If these over-the-counter treatments do not improve your acne, you may need to see a dermatologist for further evaluation and prescription medications.

I've been dealing with telogen effluvium after recently having a fever, and I'm really worried about how long this might last. Can you give me an idea about the typical duration for this to go away? I'm just feeling a bit anxious about it.
Telogen effluvium after fever typically lasts for about 6 months. During this time, it is important to ensure you are getting adequate nutrition and managing stress levels to support hair regrowth. You can consider using minoxidil solution 2% to promote hair growth.
